What if one day
&nbsp;&nbsp;I get so numb that 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I try to slowly cross a busy road?

Would you watch me slowly walk towards
the cars?
 Would you watch as I continue to walk,
&nbsp;&nbsp;ignoring the horns and people yelling?
&nbsp;&nbsp; Would you watch as my body flies
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;before hitting the ground?
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Would you watch as my blood stains
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the now red road?
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Would you watch as people scream
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in horror?
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Would you watch as my soul
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;leaves my body?
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Would you watch as the
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ambulance rushes over to 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; save me?
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Would you watch as
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; sadness and horror
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;takes over your
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; body?

Or would you have
tried to save me?

This is interesting and heartfelt and personal. You have no fear in laying it out there, your wounds written as a poem, honest and uniquely yours.... 
I think that there would be more if an impact if you removed the question or &#8220;would you&#8221; ...

Watch me.... try that out, if not I&#8217;m no one important and my critiques are nothing worth worrying over, just saying... 
keep at it. Poetry is an art form that delves into all dimensions, but certainly the emotions we self discover and dreams we yearn to make real as we wake... 

Peace.

I feel like this all the time. I wonder if anyone would miss me if I died tragically. I wish I'd written this poem, but sadly, I lack the courage. Clearly you don't. I thank you for your courage.
